Hope and recovery

Help with research

If you are a carer or a person who has or had an ED, please consider spending a few minutes to participate in research via an online survey from the University of Otago: "The Costs of Eating Disorders in NZ".

EDANZ is run by parents, caregivers, and people who have fully recovered from eating disorders. Although we don't have medical qualifications, we've experienced the challenges of eating disorders in real life.

We offer support, help and resources to people caring for loved ones with an eating disorder, but we are not able to offer treatment or medical advice for patients themselves. If you have, or are concerned you have an eating disorder, we urge you to visit your GP. Click here for advice on speaking to your GP for the first time.

If you believe your child or loved one is suffering from and eating disorder visit your GP immediately and ask for a referral to an Eating Disorder specialist service. Click here for more ways we can help you.

ROAR Reach Out and Recover
is an interactive resource, developed for adults who have eating and body concerns and/or who may be at risk of developing an eating disorder.
Eating Disorder Recovery for Adults
was developed by Tabitha Farrar after her recovery from a ten year battle with an eating disorder. She is now dedicated to helping others (sufferers and their families) to learn as much as they can in order to recover.

EDANZ believes parents have unique abilities to support one another. We invite you to join us for a relaxed coffee break with other parents/carers who are likely to share some of your challenges. A range of resources will be available. Contact our helpline on 0800 2 EDANZ / (09) 522 2679
